I really don't understand why people buy widescreen monitors. They only lead to problems.
PEOPLE! DON'T BUY WIDESCREEN MONITORS!
Heh. You sound like someone talking about TVs 5 years ago, and now wide-screen TVs are easily the majority.
You've got it ass-backwards. Letterbox isn't ideal for the human eye. Nor is wide-screen, but it is better adapted to our eyes than 4:3 is.
What you're saying is we should all adapt to a stupid resolution because someone once randomly picked 4:3 as a good format to TVs.
It's quite the other way around. Naturally there are some problems, but wide-screen is still simply the superior resolution, and will win out in the end.
My wide-screen monitor has auto-adjust. I've rarely had problems with it, except with a handful of games (including Bloodlines, I should note)
